CHESS CLOCKS. There Are Specially Constructed Ones Used In the Game. Hourglasses or sand glasses were for merly used for the purpose of measuring time at chess matches, but now special ly constructed clocks are in general use for this purpose. These clocks consist of two clocks, mounted on a common base, which moves on a pivot, thi vo clodM therefore being on the armsof a sortof seesaw. The beam or base is so con structed that when one clock 4s elevated it stands perfectly perpendicular, while the depressed clock lies oyer at an an gle, but as the mechanism of each clock is so constructed that it only moves when the clock is perfectly perpendicu lar it follows that when the upright clock is going the depressed clock is at rest. Another and more modem variety has the two clocks fixed on the same level, but with a small brass arm i reaching from the top of one to the top of the other. This arm acts on a pivot and can be brought down into actaM contact with one dock at a time by A touch of the finger. When it is thus in contact, by an ingenious device the dock is stop ped and the desired result in -attained. The working of the clock during a match is simplicity itself? r Alt- the com mencement of the match the hands of each clock point to 12. Then at the call of "time to commence play, “the clock of the first player is started; then, as soon as he makes his first move, he stops his own clock, either by depressing it or by touching the arm referred to, the same motion starting his opponent's clock. So it gees on during the entire course of the game, each move being marked by the stopping of one clock and the starting of the other.—Leisure Hour. The Pony Express. W. F. Bailey contributes to The Cen tury an article on “The Pony Express, ” between St. Joseph, Ma, and San Fran cisco. Mr. Bailey says: -7 At first the schedule was fixed at 10 days, an average of 8 miles an hour from start to finish. This was cut down to 8 days, requiring an average speed of 10 miles. The quickest trip made was in carrying President Lincoln's inau gural address, which was done in 7days and 17 hours, an average speed of 10.7 miles per hour, the fastest time of any one rider being 120 miles, from Smith’s Creek to Fort Churchill, by Pony Bob, in 8 hours and 10 minutes, or 14.7 miles per hour. Considering the dis tance and difficulties encountered, such as hostile Indians, road agents, floods and snowstorms, and accidents to horses and riders, the schedule was main tained to an astonishing degree. The service created the greatest enthusiasm not only among the employees, but also in the ranks of stage employees, freight ers and residents along the route. To aid a “pony” in difficulty was a priv ilege, and woe be to the man who would so much as throw a stone in the way. The Neapolitan and His Horse. The Italians are not remarkable for kindness to animals, but rather the re verse. They have, however, a story of a Neapolitan driver notorious for his ill treatment of his horse. After death the man presented himself at the gate of paradise, but was refused admittance. He was recommended, however, to ap ply at the neighboring paradise of ani mals, if haply he might find favor there. The driver did so, and, 10, the door was opened to him by the very same poor, starved, wornout old hack on which he had been wont to shower his blows and curses, now transformed into a celestial steed of wondrous beau ty. But, alas, the horse had not yet learned forgiveness, and here, too, the driver met with rejection.—Westmin ster Review. He Wasn’t Afraid. Little Tommy and his younger sister were going, to bed without a light. They, had just reached the bottom of the stairs, when Tommy, after vainly endeavoring to pierce the. darkness, turned round and asked: “Ma, is it polite for a gentleman to precede a lady when they have to walk in single filer” “No, my eon,” replied the mother, “the lady should always take the lead, ” “I thought so,” said Tommy delight edly; “go ahead, Sue.” —Pearson’• Weekly. A Type of Hi* Class. “I see you’ve still got your old offioft boy.” ’ “Yes.” “Improves with age, does he?” “ Well, he seems to get fresher every day.”—Philadelphia Record. Colored Cotton. Peruvian cotton grows in 12 different colors, running from white to a rich dark red. Each color produces when the seed is planted the same color. It is said that 95 per cent of Chinese children suffer from throat worms, which is attributed to bad weather and eating vegetables raw. Coal is a storehouse of colors, medi cines, perfumes and explosives. —.- ' M i 1 RACE WITH LOCOMOTIVES. Many Wild Antwal* Make a Trial at •»Md St Mlcht. Banning through the forest and swamp lands of Ohio and Indiana, the engineers and firemen who watch ahead of the great engine* that haul the flying express trains see many wild animals dashing along the track, and frequently denizens of the for ests are run down, and the trackmen find their mangled remains in the morning. Coons, wildcats, rabbits and sometimes wolves are caught by the fast fiylng limit ed trains, and evsn sly reynaid, with all his cunning, is often ground up under the wheels For many miles the Baltimore and Ohio. Fort Wayne and Lake Shore roads run through a wild, swampy woodland country in western Ohio and Indiana. These densely wooded swamps are almost impenetrable, and they harbor nearly all kinds of indigenous wild animals and birds. In the moonlight or by the aid of the headlight the animals can be seen scampering across the taracks, and often the foolish rabbit takes to the middle of the track between the rails and races the locomotive for miles until he plunges into a culvert or a bridge. "It has occurred to me several times in my railroad experience,” said the old en ginocr, “that the American Skunk can make Mm self conspicuous logger and louder thaninu other living thing. Fre qucntly asWo fly along 60 miles an hour through tho gloom of night a little wab bling body, dark and gray, la seen by the glare *nf the headlight running diagonally across the track. The aulmal may possi bly by quick action and a skillful maneu ver escape the wheels, and distantly our nostrils are saluted with an overpowering scent which almost mskse us faint. We are 200 yards away from tho cause of the smell in an instant, but it clings to us for miles, and the passengers In tho cars who are awake wonder What kind of oil is burning In the supposed hotboxes. If we happen to kill the little ahimal, his mem ory clings to us still for at least five miles.’* One night a few weeks ago, as the flying fast mail on the Lake Shore was making up lost time across the Indiana swamps, a big red fox dashed out ahead of the loco motive and took the straight, level track right ahead of the train. In another in stant a great black and tan hound, with his tongue protruding and his long, lank body stretched out at full speed, took the roadbed just 50 feet behind the fox. More steam was turned ou, and with their heads out tho engineer and fireman watched the contest of speed. It was a grand race be tween the two animals, with the mighty engine coming close after them 65 miles an hour and the headlight showing the fleet fox straining every limb and muscle, and his enemy slowly falling behind. The old hound appeared to know that there was danger in his rear and took to the west bound track, and in another minute the rushing train went past him, but the fox, taking advantage of the complication, disappeared in tho woods again. On tho Pennsylvania railroad east of Al toona a few weeks ago the track inspector found the remains of a wildcat on the track, and on the Philadelphia and Erie away up beyond Look Haven last winter a large black bear ran out in front of a freight train and was killed. Deer are often seen crowing the Philadelphia and Erie tracks in the Pennsylvania moun tains, and in tho wild, lonesome places where tho trains stop to water, if the at tentive passenger who is awake will put his head out of the window and listen, he will hear the scream of the panther and the hooting of the owl.—Pittsburg Post. Mew Selection*. The wise elocutionist Is now laying in her winter stock of selections. We say “her” because the masculine elocutionist has become rapidly extinct since the regu lations against lynching were so easily evaded. This has left the business largely In the hands of a few profewional women and a large number of promising ama teurs. In a community with as many churches as ours It is our proudest boast that lovely woman is not amenable to re straint in the same degree that ruder man is; hence the number of uninterrupted re citers. But the coming season offers a pleasing diversion from the prevalent monotony of the art. A brand new lot of selections, all founded on the war, will be launched upon a patient public. There will be, among others: "The Boy of El Caney.” "The Dying Marine” (piano accompani ment). • “The Child of Guantanamo.'* “The Tale of a Turret.” “Tho Powder Monkey of tho Bomba zeen.” "Tho Mule of Matanzas" (with imita tions). “What Captain Philip Said.” "The Bursting of the Dam” (dedicated to Captain Bob Evans).—Cloveland Plain Dealer. Wanted to Unload. Captain Barnaby of the United States coast survey steamer Blake tolls a charac teristic anecdote of Captain Bobley D. Evans of the United States battleship lowa. While aboard the Blake at Key West Lieutenant Commander Edward D. Tausig, hydrographic inspector, went alongside the lowa, which was lying eight miles off the port. Hailing Captain Evans, who was leaning against a rope life line which bad been substituted for the rails removed in case of action, Mr. Tausig asked the doughty commander If he had any message to send to the depart ment at Washington, as ho would leave for there next day. “ Tell them for me, Tausig," said tho captain, “that I have a cargo of ammuni tion on board the lowa that I am mighty anxious to be allowed to discharge.” The reply produced a laugh, which was heartily joined in by the bluejackets on the lowa who were grouped neor the cap tain. The message was subsequently de livered, and It was not long after that the cargo of ammunition was being vigorous ly discharged from the IfTwa. Jaag L* 1* • Daady. Jung Ln, the new viceroy of China, is one of tho most popular generals In the imperial army. Ho has always been a dandy in dress and has the reputation of being the best dressed man in Peking, while the gilded youth of the Mantchoo nobility always copy his dress and swear by "Jung Lu's style.” His horses and mules also have ever been the finest in Peking, not even excepting the emperor's stud, and ho loves to mount tho most fiery and restive cattle when riding out. This has led to several picked horses sent as tribute to the emperor from Kuldja and Mongolia, but which no one could ride, owing to their untamed and restive spirits, being specially presented to Jung Lu by the emperor's command. This is the man who now holds the responsible post of guardian of the dragon throne at Tien-telu. —Tien tain Time* atx ifiawi y i mi • n NAVAJO BLANKETB. A WaaAerfal Pradaet ot the PrimU tlva Loom* Vaed by the Hmws. Americans are a traveling people, but how many outside of army circles hare visited a Navajo camp or witnessed tho manufacture of a Navajo blanket? It la a product of the loom really wonderful in design and texture when tho disadvan tages under which it was made are consid ered The Navajoes qro a peaceful people of tho Pueblo typo. Tho squaws weave blankets and tho men tend sheep and ponies. Many of them are rich, and moot of them are self supporting, deriving their income from their herds, the wool of their flocks and the manufacture of their blan kets. Tho wool of what is termed “the native wool blanket” Is taken from their own sheep, and native dyes produced from various herbs give the blhnkot its peculiar coloring. A Navajo blanket belongs to the Navajo, and to him alone. l.i fact, it is a part of hin; In every hogan, or hut, you Will find these blankets, and a short distance away amid the sagebru-h or on the windward aide of a rock you can see a Navajo squaw squatted on the ground busily engaged weaving another. Tho outfit Ik very simple. Two sticks on Which strings uru. strung a long flat stick to ram each thread home, a cylinder shaped one to keep the threads straight, a small one similar to a comb to prevent any tangles—this is the loom which pro duces the weird Navajo blanket. Yet with these tools a Navajo squaw manu factures a blanket which may be used for a rug and will last half a century. It may seem an easy thing to produce one, byt just make the attempt I r~ In theso days, when Navajo blankets have become a product of the market and when the Indian is surrounded by civiliza tion, with traders' stores enabling him to exchange his blankets for articles of Euro pean make, there has arisen a new Navajo blanket made from Germantown wool. It is certainly a work of art, handsome as well as unique In appearance. The In dians buy this wool from the traders, and It is a curious fact that of the multitude of blankets produced no two have been known to be alike. I visited the store of the largest collector of these blankets when he had over 120,000 worth In stock, and I could discover no exact counterpart. Tho Navajoes, as a rule, are cute and sly In the business. Their contact with civ ilization has taught them the “Yankee method” of driving a bargain. At Fort Wingate, a regular army post situated on the edge of the Navajo reservation, it is not unusual to see an Indian begin at one end of the officers’ quarters and enter ev ery house trying to sell his blankets. Sometimes he meets with success at the first house, but it Is a well established fact that with each refusal the price of his ar ticle decreases. The spring and early summer are the best times for buying. Dur ing tho winter the squaws are busy weav ing, and then as the summer approaches they are brought Into the settlements. Sometimes the squaws come, but never alone. The “buck” accompanies to see that they are not cheated. The buck stalks ahead, followed by the blanket laden squaw. The Indian has no com punction in loading his "better half* with all she can carry. To find a real Navajo blanket weaver you must go away from the towns and villages. Walk across almost any level . plain until you come to the bluff, and. there among the hillsides you will find her home. I have thought as I watched her at her work, which goes on from morn till eve for months at a time, how wearied she must get and have asked myself, Does she ever want’to stop? Ido not know that, but I have learned that when money is scarce she oannot stop, but must work on and work on, content to reoelve as her share of the profit some poor tobacco or bright calioo.—Kansas City Journal. A Nallies* Horseshoe. One of tho most recent novelties, which will, wo think, bo welcomed as a boon to horse keepers as well as the animals un der their charge, is a shoe patented by Mr. R. McDougall of Wellington street, Glas gow, which can be affixed to the hoof without nails. The new shoe takes the familiar form, but has two projections, one on each side at the back, which en gage rings at the ends of a band which passes over tho front of the hoot and is fastened In the middle by a screw attach ment to the center of the shoe. Tho en tire arrangement Is simple, and the inno vation means that when a horse casts a shoe it will not be necessary any longer to seek the aid of a farrier, for the new shoe can easily be fitted in a few minutes by an inexperienced hand. In a recent trial of the naillees horse shoe the new Invention was put to a se vere test, the horse on which the shoes were fitted being attached to a heavy laden van and worked up and down steep gradi ents and on granite paved streets. Not withstanding this rough work the shoes showed no sign of shifting and were not removed until worn out. The new shoe obviates all risk of pricking or laming by nails, and a slight rasping of the hoof is all that Is required In attaching It to Its bed.—Chambers’ Journal. The Tired Preacher. Physiologists have been investigating the nature of the poison which Is engen dered by fatigue. If the blood of a fa tigued animal be injected into another animal that is fresh and unfatigued, all the phenomena of fatigue will bo produc ed. The poison which Is produced by fa tigue is of the same nature as that Into which the Indians used to dip their ar rows, and a most deadly poison it is found to be. In case it is created more rapidly than can be carried off by the blood, the organism suffers seriously. A preacher should make it a rule never to work at his sermons when ho is tired. Tired composition Is sure to tell injurious ly on the sermon as delivered, and tired preaching makes tired hearing. The biographer of Dean Stanley says that one main source of the freshness which per vaded his sermons was the economy of his strength. He had most clearly recognised the extent and the limitations of his pow ers. It is too often forgotten that a ser mon has a phvsical as well as an intellec tual and spiritual basis.—Honftletlc Re view. i wa.i—!■■ ■i>»h!| ■ ■. Y The Mehle Lobster. A Chicago police justice bolds that the word “lobster” applied to a human being is not one of reproach, Insult or abuse, and that the person to whom it is applied has no reason to complain. As the lobster inlnds its own business and Is ono of the most important and cherished elements of civilization, a contumelious use of Ita name Is not to be admitted. To call a man a “lobster” ought to imply that he is a public benefactor and a person of taste Even slang should respect one of the chief characters of sea and land.—New York Sun.
